MANSFIELD DEAD; GREAT WORK ENDS PREMIER AMERICAN ACTOR EX- PIRES AT SUMMER HOME IN CONNECTICUT. LONG STRUGGLE FOR FAME DEATH DUE TO DISEASE OF THE LIVER, AGGRAVATED BY COM- PLICATIONS. New London, Conn., Sept. 1—Rich- ard Mansfield, the best known actor on the American stage, passed away yesterday morning at his summer resi- dence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue. Death was directly due to disease of the liver, aggravated by complications. Dr. A. H. Allen, a local physician, who has been in charge since Mr. Mans- field’s arrival here from Saranac Lake, N. Y., states that death was not entire- ly unexpected, although this fact had ont been made public. Mr. Mansfield’s condition had been reported as being excellent. There were quite a number of condi- tions that prevented his getting well. During the great actor’s last moments he was lying in a condition of coma and did not recognize the loved ones at his bedside. There were present at the time of his death his wife, his brother Felix, his young son Gibbs and the physicians and nurses. Studied in England. Richard Mansfield was born on the little island of Heligoland on May 24, 1857. His muther was Mme. Mansfield Rudersdorf, a famous prima donna, and it was from her that Mansfield in- herited his love for the arts. The ac- tor studied at several schools on the continent and then went to England to study art. The young artist made a precarious living painting pictures, and many times his only meal in those early days in London was a hot potato bought from a street peddler. “T used to hold the potato to warm my hands,” said Mansfield in relating his experience, “and then eat it.” Played Many Parts. Mr. Mansfield’s first work on the stage was in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas. His dramatic genius did not manifest itself until chance gave him the opportunity to play the part of Baron Chevrial in the “Paris- ian Romance.” He lifted what at first seemed to be a small eccentric part to one of all absorbing interest. The pub- lic and the critics forgot the play to talk of Mansfield’s great work, and from that day he become a leading actor on the American stage. Among the more important <f the parts in which Mansfield distinguished himself were: “Prince Karl,” “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” “Richard Ill.” “Cyrano des Bergerac,” “Ivan the Terrible,” ry V.,” “Shylock” and “Beau Brum- mel.” The last effort of his genius was displayed iu a remarkable produc tion of Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt.” WILL SAVE $200,000 A YEAR. Department of Interior to Undergo Some Drastic Changes. Washington, Sept. 1—A reform in the personnel and business methods of a sweeping and drastic nature will be put into effect in the department of the interior within the next six weeks or two months. It wil result in a sav- ing to the government of more than $200,000 a year. It involves numerous transfers of clerks, the consolidation of two big bureaus, the moving of one of the largest bureaus in the depart- ment to the pension office building, a uniformity in the pension office and land office blanks used and the storage of the patent office models in the pen- sion office building. Although there will be, according to the present plans no dismissals of clerks or other employes of the de- partment, the total number of clerks employed will be diminished gradually by allowing unnecessary offices that become vacant to remain vacant. The changes will come as a result of the detailed reports of the government experts and the outside business ex- perts named by Secretary of the Inte- rior Garfield to investigate every branch of the department and recom- mend changes tending to more econo- my, greater efficiency and greater dis- patch in the performance of business. NEWSPAPER’S LOSS $200,000. Louisville Courier-Journal’s Fire Will Not Interrupt Business.

San Francisco, Sept. 4—Labor day union parade resulted in the shooting of two men by employes of the United Railroads. The car men were attack- ed by the paraders and in self-defense ppened fire. The trouble started at the ferry, where it is said a Suttor street ear broke through the line of parade. A mob of labor union men followed the care and at the junction of Suttor street the members attacked the car. The motorman opened fire and wound- ed one of his assailants in the leg. A block further up an inspector was attacked by the mob. He was sud- denly struck in the face and ran from his assailants. They followed him to the corner of Suttor and Montgomery streets, where they overtook him. He drew a pistol and aimed at a bur- ly labor union man, who carried a brick in his hands. The inspector opened fire and shot the man through the groin. Six shots were fired. A riot call was sent to the police and fire department and a force of police and firemen were soon on the scene. The men who did the shooting were arrested, but several rioters who were seized by the police were released. TWO GIRLS BALK RIOTERS. Protect Victims of Popular Anger and Are Seriously Injured. Steubenville, Ohio, Sept. 3—A La- bor day riot that bid fair to end in a tragedy had it not been for the brav- ery of two young women employed in the telephone exchange occurred here yesterday afternoon. The victims of the crowd’s rage were Joseph Harbison, who now has a fractured skull, and John Hatton, who was cut and bruised, while in shielding the men Mary Magee and Evla Pooke received cuts and bruises about the head and body. They are in a serious condition. Harbison and Hatton came here from St. Louis to work in a mine where a strike is in progress. Yester- day as they left the telephone office they were set upon by a crowd and were being badly beaten when the two girls rushed into the thick of the trou- ble, and frantically pushing and shov- ing their way through about fifty men reached the two victims, to whom the young women were strangers. The girls threw themselves on the prostrate men, protecting their heads and re- ceiving on their bodies the kicks and blows of the mob. One of the men, who was wielding a piece of iron, struck Miss Magee on the head. Another piece of iron al- most broke Miss Pooke’s arm. In a moment of Jet-up in the assault policemen reached the scene and res- cued Harbison and Hatton. BEATS ALL RECORDS. ; Prince Wilhelm Leaves Gotham After Seeing It All.

KIND EVER HELD IN COUNTRY. 100,000 ATTEND OPENING DAY IN AT- BREAKS ALL RECORDS TENDANCE AND NUMBER AND QUALITY OF EXHIBITS. St. Paul, Sept. 4. -- The mammoth and incomparable Minnesota state fair on the opening day established a new record for attendance. Remarkable as was the attendance at the opening day last year, yesterday’s record went it still stronger, meeting fully the ex- pectations of the managers of the Agricultural society. The officials placed yesterday's attendance at 100,- 000. “We believe we have the best and biggest fair in the United States,” said President B. F. Nelson, “and the manner in which the people turned out to-day shows that they feel that way about it also.” The present fair is worthy the pat- ronage it drew yesterday. While the people of Minnesota turned out in force to manifest their enthusiasm for a venture which is recognized as the best in the land, they were not alone prompted by patriotism for the Nortn Star state. They went because they had been told that they would see the best statc fair on earth. Such had been told them before, and they went, saw and believed. Signs of Progress. the visitors entered the yesterday they witnessed marked indications of the spirit of progress. They not only saw a more varied assortment of exhibits, but a splendid growth in all the displays which have formed a part of previous fairs. This year’s fair has improved and expanded in every way and has attained a stage of development which has to be seen to be realized. The fact that Dan Patch was to pace contributed considerable to the big at- tendance yesterday. While Dan went a mile in 1:58 1-4, as compared to 1:55 which he established last year on the grounds as the world’s record, the in- tense admiration which he draws was not a bit diminished. The wind was too sharp and the air too cool for him to do his best. He demonstrated his regal pacing prowess, and the specta- tors went home satisfied. The other races on the track were among the best scheduled for the week. Ideal Day for People. It was a perfect day for the people. With bright skies and a cool and re freshing breeze, conditions were ideal. The day was not marred by a single accident. The day of pleasure began with President Northrop’s, address at the live stock amphitheater in the morn- ing and ended with the night’s attrac- tions on the race track. The program led off with music, vaudeville program and races, closing up with a pyrotech- nic display, “The Siege of Jericho.” These features will be presented every evening. When grounds Minneapolis Day at Fair. St. Paul, Sept. 5.—Minneapolis day at the state fair drew a remarkable attendance in view of the unfavorable weather conditions. The weather was threatening all day and was too cool for general comfort. The attendance at 3 o’clock was 35,000 and this was increased . by a few thousand who came out for the evening performance. The trotting race for a purse of $5,000. one of the biggest purses offer- ed during the week, was the feature of the program and was won by Sterling McKinney, who made it in 2:09 1-4, which is the best showing of the fair so far. Spirited rivalry exists among the caretakers of the county exhibits in the horticultural building. Not only are there more counties represented this year than ever before, but each booth has been arranged to make as extensive and attractive display as possible. The northern counties are more strongly represented than any other portion of the state. To-day is Live Stock and Dairy day. The sur- vivors of the Minnesota regiments that served in the Civil war will be the guests of the fair officers to-day, and an interesting program has been arranged. Old Third Wisconsin to Rally. Waupun, Wis., Sept. 5.—The seven- teenth annual reunion of the Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry associa- tion will be held in Waupun on Sept. 17 and 18. Blackmailer Is Slain.

Revolution Imminent. Buenos Ayres, Sept. 4—News of se- rious unrest in the province of Corri- tes has reached here. Armed bands have appeared on the frontier and a revolution is said to be imminent. To AVERT A COAL FAMINE TRANSPORTATION OF COAL AND PROBABLE CAR SHORTAGE TO BE LOOKED INTO. Washington, Sept. 5. — An inquiry into the railroads of the West is to be made by Commissioner Franklin K. Lane of the interstate commerce com- mission. Commissioner Lane left last night for an extended trip through the Wesi and Northwest and along the Pa- cific coast. Incidentally he will hear several cases arising out of complaints filed with the commission from Spo- kane, Seattle, Portland, San Francis- co and Los Angeles. Look Into Coal Problem. Commissioner Lane will make spe- cial inquiries concerning the transpor- tation of coal in the West and North- west and will be prepared to extend to both the railroads and shippers the assistance of the commission to avert a coal famine, such was occurred last winter. He will also make a special investigation into a probable shortage of cars for moving crops this fall and winter. Agents of the commission have been invesigating the question of ear shortage and will report their con- clusions to Commissioner Lane. Mr. Lane will take up the matter with of ficials of the roads. ASSASSIN HELPS REBELS. Tazzi Brothers, Who Dominate Sultan, Are Murdered at Fez. Casablanca, Sept. 5. — Letters re ceived here from Fez declare that the Tazzi brothers—Abdelkrum Ben Sli- man, the Moroccan foreign minister, and Ganam, the sultan’s second repre- sentative at Tanger—have been assas- sinated by partisans of the caid of Mechuar, the official who introduces ambassadors to the court of the sul- tan. The Tazzi brothers exercised almost complete domination over the sultan, and to them is attributed the ruin of the empire. It is alleged that they sought only their personal aggrandizement. Their fortune is counted by millions, and is said to be sufficient to pay the entire debt of Morocco. Violence Before Sultan. Some time ago the caid of Mechuar was on the point of killing the Tazzi brothers in the presence of the sultan. The name of the caid is Driss Ben Aich and he is the descendant of the Bujaris, one of the four tribes which founded the Moroccan monarchy. ALTON CASE IS POSTPONED. Judge Landis Grants Stay at Request of Government. Chicago, Sept. 5.—Judge Landis, in the United States district court, yes- terday ordered the postponement of the grand jury investigation of rebat- ing charges against the Chicago & Al- ton road growing out of the recent trial and conviction of the Standard Oil company, until Sept. 24. It was generally believed when court opened Tuesday that a letter would be presented from Attorney General Bon- aparte defining the action intended by the government against the Alton road. The railroad company has made a claim of immunity, asserting that it was promised by Former District At- torney Morrison that if it aided the government in good faith in the prose- cution of the Standard Oil company it would be exempt, No such letter, however, was presented in court, either by Judge Landis or by District Attorney Sims, the successor of Dis- trict Attorney Morrison. When the court opened yesterday, District Attorney Sims said in part: “A situation has arisen ‘which, in my judgment, makes it highly desir- able that I have time to submit to the department certain facts and circum- stances in addition to those already submitted. “For these reasons I request that further action in the matter be post- poned for three or four weeks.” Judge Landis then postponed the case until Sept. 24. GEN. PORTER WINS HIS POINT. Proposals for Collection of Contractual Debts Approved. The Hague, Sept. 5. — Gen. Horace Porter of the American delegation to the peace conference led his proposal for the collection of contractual debts to practically unanimous approval yes- terday by the committee of examina- tion, and at the conclusion of ‘the meeting he was the recipient of many congratulations upon the success of his efforts. The importance of this American suggestion, it is pointed out, lies in the principle which it estab- lishes rather than in its practical ap- plication, which may be very seldom. Gen. Porter met all the objections raised with ready argument and final- ly brought all the countries represent- ed, debtor as well as creditor coun- tries, into line, with the single excep- tion of Switzerland, which is neither a debtor nor a creditor country. There is reason to believe, however, that even the Swiss government will sign the convention, with reserve regarding the matter of jurisdiction. Steamer Sunk in Collision. Gallipolis, Ohio, Sept. 5—The pas- senger steamer Henry M. Stanley crashed into the United States dredge boat Oswego at Gallipolis island, in the Ohio river here, last night and sank.
